Mister French

A theatrical restaurant with burlesque shows and magicians and a menu by celebrity chef David Burke.

Burke has famosly competed on “Iron Chef America” and “Top Chef Masters,” and with executive chef Guillaume Thivet, formerly of Del Frisco’s, are overseeing a menu of updated classic French dishes with a twist. To start, there are cheese puffs, a take on poutine with lemon parsley crab bearnaise, and peppered bacon, while mains include skate meuniere and steak frites and omelette a la Norvegienne to finish. 

The venue sets out to combine "the sophistication of French fashion and design accents of a Chateau while still capturing the grittiness of The Bowery and energy of New York nightlife". The space houses three different areas including a main dining room with banquettes and booths, the bar and the Solarium, a more intimate seating space. There’s also the Atrium, which features an open kitchen and an eight-seat marble chef’s counter. Three nights a week, the dining room transforms into a burlesque stage, and magicians circulate on the floor, entertaining diners. Open daily, from 5pm.
